Cryptocurrency continues to gain momentum in Australia, with investors, traders, and even everyday consumers participating more than ever before. As digital assets integrate further into the Australian financial landscape, understanding the country’s evolving crypto tax regulations is essential for compliance and effective tax planning. This 2025 guide offers an in-depth, easy-to-understand walkthrough of how cryptocurrencies are taxed by the Australian Taxation Office (ATO), what records you need, and how to minimize your crypto tax liability—whether you’re a casual investor, a DeFi experimenter, or a seasoned trader.

Do You Pay Cryptocurrency Taxes in Australia?

Yes, if you own or transact with cryptocurrency in Australia, you are generally required to pay tax. The ATO treats cryptocurrency as property, not currency, meaning digital assets are subject to both capital gains tax (CGT) and, in some instances, ordinary income tax.

What Types of Crypto Transactions Are Taxable?

The ATO defines a taxable event as any transaction where you dispose of cryptocurrency—in other words, when you give up ownership of crypto or change the form in which you hold it. The following actions are typically taxable:

Transfer fees paid in crypto may be taxable (see below).
It’s important to recognize that even if you do not “cash out” to fiat currency, many crypto activities are still reportable and taxable.

Who Is Responsible for Reporting Crypto Taxes?

All Australian taxpayers who have engaged in relevant crypto transactions must report capital gains and crypto income to the ATO, regardless of account size or how long they have been holding. The ATO makes no exceptions for crypto “hobbyists” or small investors—if you make a gain or earn income, declare it in your tax return.

How Much Tax Do You Pay on Crypto in Australia?

Crypto tax depends on the nature of your activity and your overall taxable income. For most, capital gains are the central concern, but some forms of crypto earnings are taxed as ordinary income.

2025–2026 Individual Income Tax Rates

The Australian tax system is progressive; higher incomes are taxed at higher rates. The following markdown table summarizes the income tax rates applied in the 2025–2026 financial year:

Taxable Income Range

Marginal Rate

How It Works

$0 – $18,2000%Tax-free threshold
$18,201 – $45,00016%16c per dollar over $18,200
$45,001 – $135,00030%$4,288 + 30c per dollar over $45,000
$135,001 – $190,00037%$31,288 + 37c per dollar over $135,000
$190,001+45%$51,638 + 45c per dollar over $190,000

Your cryptocurrency capital gains or crypto-related income are added to other sources of income (such as salary, rental income, etc.) for your total tax calculation.

How the 50% CGT Discount Works

If you hold your cryptocurrency for 12 months or more before disposing of it, you may be eligible for a 50% CGT discount. This means only half of any net capital gain from that asset’s disposal is taxed at your applicable marginal rate.

Example:
Suppose Sam buys 2 ETH for $1,000 each ($2,000 total) in April 2024 and sells both for $2,500 each ($5,000 total) in June 2025.

  • Acquisition cost: $2,000
  • Disposal amount: $5,000
  • Capital gain: $3,000
  • Eligible for 50% discount: Only $1,500 is included in Sam’s taxable income for 2025.

Short-Term vs. Long-Term Holdings

If you sell (or otherwise dispose of) your crypto within 12 months of acquiring it, the entire gain is taxed at your marginal rate with no discount. Exceed 12 months, and your taxable gain is halved.

Can the Ato Track Crypto?

Yes, the ATO has robust systems in place to detect, track, and monitor cryptocurrency transactions and investors.

How Does the ATO Access Crypto Data?

Australian-based exchanges and Digital Service Providers (DSPs) are legally required to register with AUSTRAC and to report customer and transaction data directly to the tax office. In 2024, the ATO obtained records for more than 1.2 million investors—a number expected only to grow in 2025.

Information Provided May Include:

  • Your name, date of birth, and address
  • Your crypto wallet addresses and user IDs
  • Transaction dates and types (buys, sells, swaps, gifts)
  • Volumes and AUD values of your crypto transactions

Historical data is also collected (dating back to 2014) and updated annually. If you have transacted on a registered exchange or on a platform requiring KYC (identity verification), it’s nearly impossible to hide your crypto activities.

What Happens If You Don’t Report?

The ATO routinely cross-checks taxpayer records with data it collects from exchanges. If there are missing gains or undeclared income, the ATO may:

  • Issue prefilled warning letters
  • Demand amended tax returns for current and past years
  • Impose fines, penalties, or even refer serious cases to prosecution

The safest path forward is to declare all relevant crypto activity—retroactively if you’ve skipped reporting in prior years.

How Is Crypto Taxed in Australia?

Australian law divides crypto tax into two main categories: capital gains tax and income tax. The way your crypto is taxed depends on both the nature of the transaction and your classification as an investor or trader.

Investor vs Trader: What’s the Difference?

Investor:

  • Buys, holds, or occasionally trades crypto for long-term gain (wealth growth)
  • Eligible for the 50% CGT discount on assets held ≥12 months
  • Typically cannot deduct expenses

Trader:

  • Buys and sells crypto as a business activity, often with substantial capital and high frequency
  • Profits taxed as ordinary income, not CGT (so no CGT discount)
  • Can claim trading expenses as tax deductions

You may be both an investor and a trader for different wallets or activities—just keep clear records, and always report under the correct category.

Capital Gains Tax (CGT): The Basics

CGT event is triggered whenever you dispose of your crypto. This includes selling for fiat, swapping for different tokens, or spending on goods and services. Here is how you calculate your capital gain or loss:

Capital Gain/Loss Calculation:

Capital Gain/Loss = Sale Proceeds (minus fees) – Cost Base (acquisition price plus associated fees)

Example:
Jessica bought 3 BTC for $30,000 ($10,000 each) plus a total of $500 in fees. She later sells them for $45,000.

  • Cost base: $30,500
  • Proceeds after $500 sale fees: $44,500
  • Capital gain: $44,500 – $30,500 = $14,000

If Jessica held her BTC longer than one year, she pays tax on only $7,000 of that gain.

Capital Losses

If you dispose of crypto for less than its cost base, you incur a capital loss.

  • Capital losses can offset capital gains from other assets (including shares, property, or crypto) but cannot offset salary or other non-investment income.
  • Any unused losses can be carried forward indefinitely.

Common Triggers for Capital Gains or Losses

Notes

Selling crypto for fiatYesStandard CGT rules apply
Swapping crypto for another tokenYesCGT uses fair market value at time of swap
Spending crypto (goods/services)Yes, unless personal use assetVery limited exemption (see below)
Gifting cryptoYesApplies to giver; recipient counts value as cost base
Donating to DGR-registered charityNo (for donor)Eligible for deduction; no CGT
Receiving crypto as a giftNo (on receipt)Only taxed if/when you later dispose
Moving between your own walletsNoExcept for any transfer fees paid in crypto

The Personal Use Asset Exemption

Cryptocurrency purchased and used purely and quickly to pay for personal goods or services may qualify as a “personal use asset” and be exempt from CGT—but only if the asset cost $10,000 or less and was not held for investment purposes. The ATO interprets this exemption narrowly; simply buying coffee with crypto does not automatically qualify if you’ve held those tokens as an investment.

Income Tax on Crypto

Some crypto earnings are considered ordinary taxable income—in other words, just like wages. These include:

  • Salary/wages paid in crypto
  • Staking and DeFi protocol rewards
  • Mining rewards (business or substantial activity)
  • Referral, sign-up, or affiliate bonuses
  • Most airdrops (unless received before token listing, in which case the cost base is $0)
  • Income from creating or selling NFTs (for business/hobby artists)

You are taxed on the fair market value in AUD of crypto at the time you receive it, not when you sell, swap, or otherwise dispose of it later.

Example:
If Chris earns 0.1 BTC from staking when it’s worth $5,000, that $5,000 is included in his annual income for the year of receipt. If Chris later sells those coins for more or less, any price difference is treated as a capital gain or loss.

Australia Income Tax Rate

Crypto capital gains and income are taxed at your marginal rate, which is based on your combined taxable income for the year. Here’s a summary table for clarity:

Taxable Income

Marginal Tax Rate

CGT on Crypto <12 Months

CGT on Crypto ≥12 Months

Up to $18,2000%0%0%
$18,201–$45,00016%16%8%

$190,001+45%45%22.5%

Assumes assets held ≥12 months and qualifies for 50% CGT discount

Crypto Losses in Australia

How to Handle Capital Losses

Losses from crypto sales and swaps offset your capital gains from crypto, shares, or other CGT assets. If you have more losses than gains in a given tax year, you can carry the unused losses forward to offset gains in future years—there is no time limit for carrying forward losses.

Example: Netting Off Gains and Losses

Suppose Emily has the following activity for 2025:

Crypto Activity

Date

Capital Gain/Loss

Sold ETHJuly 2025+$6,000
Swapped BTC→ADAAugust 2025–$2,000
Disposed of old DOGEDecember 2025–$5,000

Net capital gain: $6,000 – $2,000 – $5,000 = –$1,000
This $1,000 capital loss can be used to reduce future gains; it cannot reduce salary or personal income tax.

Crypto Stolen, Lost, or Scammed

If you lose access to your tokens (e.g., via wallet hacks, lost wallets, or scams) and can document:

  • Proof of purchase (date, quantum, value)
  • Proof of loss (hacker/transaction, police report, or lost keys)
  • Steps taken to recover assets

you may be eligible to claim a capital loss. ATO scrutiny and evidence requirements are high for such claims.

Prohibition of “Wash Sales”

You cannot claim a capital loss on an asset and immediately reacquire the same or a substantially identical asset, solely to generate a paper loss. The ATO is explicit: “wash sales,” including quick repurchases, are not legal and may attract heavy penalties.

Defi Tax

Decentralized Finance (DeFi) introduces unique tax complexities. However, the ATO has provided initial guidance on how DeFi activities—swapping, staking, providing liquidity, and earning yield—should be taxed.

Crypto-to-Crypto Swaps

Every swap between tokens in DeFi protocols (e.g., swapping ETH for DAI in a liquidity pool, or on a DEX) is a taxable CGT disposal.

  • Calculate the capital gain or loss based on the market value of the crypto you receive at the time of swap, minus the original cost base of the crypto you spent.

Providing or Removing Liquidity

Adding crypto to a protocol (e.g., pairing tokens in a Uniswap pool or a lending vault):

  • If you receive LP tokens or a new token: This is a disposal of the original tokens (subject to CGT) and an acquisition of the new assets at market value.
  • Later, redeeming or burning those tokens (removing liquidity) is another disposal event, with any change in value since acquisition triggering further CGT calculation.

DeFi Earnings: Yield, Interest, Mining

Interest, yield, or rewards earned from DeFi activities—including staking, lending, yield farming, and liquidity mining—are taxed as ordinary income at the time you earn them.

  • Later sale of the rewarded tokens triggers a separate capital gains event.

Wrapping and Unwrapping

“Wrapping” (converting ETH to wETH, BTC to wrapped BTC, etc.) is generally treated as a disposal and acquisition event with an associated CGT calculation, unless the economic exposure is exactly matched and there is no change in beneficial ownership.

Record Keeping & Reporting

The ATO requires crypto investors to maintain accurate and thorough records for five years from the date of each transaction or from when records were created/prepared. Good recordkeeping is your best defense against audits and reduces future reporting headaches.

Essential Records to Keep

  • Transaction history (buys, sells, swaps, gifts, staking, DeFi, NFTs, etc.)
  • Dates for each transaction
  • AUD value (from reputable exchange rates or APIs)
  • Associated wallet addresses
  • Counterparty or exchange details
  • Receipts and confirmations
  • Network fees and gas costs
  • Documentation for lost/stolen crypto (if applicable)
  • Reports from crypto tax software

Export and store your data at least quarterly. Automating your recordkeeping with a reliable platform will save massive time and help ensure compliance.

Filing and Optimizing Your Crypto Taxes

Reporting Deadlines

For the 2024–2025 tax year:

  • Self-filers: Report by 31 October 2025.
  • Accountant-assisted filers: May lodge as late as 15 May 2026 if registered by 31 October 2025.

Late lodgement can incur penalties, though the ATO will sometimes show leniency for voluntary disclosures or first offenses.

Tax Calculation Methods: FIFO, LIFO, or HIFO

Australian investors can generally choose between FIFO, LIFO, or HIFO for identifying which lots of crypto are disposed of in each transaction—provided they maintain proper records:

  • FIFO (First-In, First-Out): Default method; oldest assets sold first
  • LIFO (Last-In, First-Out): Most recent assets sold first
  • HIFO (Highest-In, First-Out): Highest-cost assets sold first (minimizes gains)

Traders operating a crypto business are generally required to use FIFO.

Offsetting and Minimizing Your Tax

Practical Strategies

  • Hold crypto assets longer than 12 months to maximize the CGT discount.
  • Offset capital gains with realized losses (from crypto, shares, or other CGT assets).
  • Deduct transaction/gas fees, tax software, and (for traders) relevant business expenses.
  • Donate crypto to DGR-registered charities—potentially getting both a deduction and a CGT-free disposal.
  • Accurately document unrecoverable losses (hacks/theft) and claim as capital losses with robust proof where allowed.

Proactive Tax Planning

  • Complete a year-end tax review: Harvest losses from underperforming crypto before the financial year ends (June 30).
  • Separate investor and trader activities (and wallets/accounts) to report accurately.
  • Avoid “wash sales” and other contrived loss-generating transactions.

Cannot Pay Your Tax Bill?

If you owe less than $200,000, the ATO can set up a payment plan online. For liabilities above this threshold, call the ATO to discuss your financial situation and arrange installments. Proactively addressing tax debt—even before receiving a warning—can help avoid heavy penalties and interest.

Frequently Asked Questions

What cryptocurrencies are subject to tax in Australia?

All cryptocurrencies—Bitcoin, Ethereum, altcoins, stablecoins, and NFTs—are considered assets and may trigger a tax liability when disposed of. The ATO makes no differentiation based on token project or technology; both major and minor coins, as well as new DeFi and NFT assets, are fully in scope for CGT or income tax.

How do I calculate my crypto tax liability?

Calculate your crypto tax liability by summing up all capital gains and losses from disposals and including any cryptocurrency received as ordinary income.

  • For each disposal: Capital gain/loss = Disposal value (in AUD) – Cost base (purchase + fees)
  • Deduct capital losses from gains; apply the 50% long-term CGT discount where eligible.

Income from mining, staking, airdrops, or services is calculated based on the fair market value of tokens at receipt. Tax software or reliable exchange-provided reports, like those from WEEX, can automate these calculations.

What records should I keep for crypto taxes?

You must keep detailed records for every crypto transaction for at least five years. This includes dates, values in AUD, the nature of the transaction, wallet addresses, receipts, exchange details, and records for lost or stolen crypto if relevant. Well-kept records make it easier to defend your positions if ever audited by the ATO.

When are crypto taxes due in Australia?

For the 2024–2025 tax year, self-filers must submit returns by October 31, 2025. If you file through a registered tax agent or accountant, you may qualify for an extended deadline—often up to May 15, 2026—provided you register by October 31, 2025. Prompt, accurate filing counts toward future ATO leniency for late or amended returns.

What happens if I don’t report crypto taxes?

Failure to report—either by omission or deliberate concealment—can trigger ATO letters, enforced audits, fines, additional back taxes (plus compound interest), and, in severe cases, criminal prosecution (including potential prison sentences). The ATO has no set time statute on crypto underreporting where fraud or evasion is suspected, so always err on the side of full disclosure.

 


 

For additional guidance, always consult a qualified accounting professional or the ATO for complex situations.
Tax rules are frequently updated, so ensure your knowledge is current as crypto evolves in Australia. For streamlined trading and comprehensive recordkeeping, WEEX continues to support Australian crypto participants at every step of their financial journey.

Serenity & Leopold & Nvidia & Trump — Who Is the “Shill King”?

The AI boom in the U.S. stock market continues to run hot, with supply chain bottlenecks, foreign investment, and policy catalysts weaving together to form the most compelling narrative. Against this backdrop, a select few highly influential “Shill Kings” have begun to steer market capital flows with their precise stock-picking success rates.From Reddit retail trading gurus to top-tier AI think tanks, from tech giant CEOs to high-profile political figures, whose market influence and stock-picking success rate comes out on top? WEEX Labs provides an in-depth analysis of the performance and strategic logic behind these four key “Shill Kings.” Serenity (@aleabitoreddit): The “Microscopic Shovel” Hunter of WSBAs a highly influential veteran trader on the WallStreetBets (WSB) subreddit, Serenity is a quintessential hardcore technical analyst and grassroots leader, known for his anime avatar and freely shared research.Serenity focuses intently on critical supporting segments within the NVIDIA AI chip supply chain. His core methodology centers on identifying key chokepoints in this ecosystem—specifically, the indispensable “screw-like” components essential to chip manufacturing and packaging. He targets irreplaceable small-cap upstream stocks in sectors such as photonics (CPO), optical interconnects, and HBM, which possess scarcity and pricing power.The performance of three core picks speaks for itself:SIVE (Sivers Semiconductors): Recommended 190 times; since the first public recommendation on March 16, 2026, the stock price has surged 19.6-fold. The company specializes in CPO lasers, which are indispensable core components in the AI optical interconnect sector.AAOI (Applied Optoelectronics): Recommended 123 times; the stock price has risen 5.10-fold since the first recommendation on January 26, 2026. It is a key supplier of high-speed optical modules for AI data centers.AXTI (AXT Inc.): Recommended 70 times, the stock has surged 9.02-fold since its first public recommendation on December 26, 2025. The company specializes in InP substrate materials, which feature extremely high technical barriers. Leopold Aschenbrenner: The 25-Year-Old Wall Street Stock Guru with an Institutional-Grade, Full-Chain AI StrategyAt just 25 years old, Leopold is arguably the current “chosen one” of the U.S. stock market. With a legendary track record at OpenAI and the FTX Future Fund, he has transformed the bold predictions from his forward-looking AGI (Artificial General Intelligence) paper, *Situational Awareness*, into a highly profitable investment portfolio with devastating precision.Not only are the holdings of his Situational Awareness LP fund wildly sought after on Wall Street, but his investment logic also targets the entire AI infrastructure chain. He believes the ultimate outcome of AI development is not just about algorithms, but a showdown between energy and computing power. Consequently, his portfolio is highly concentrated on companies transitioning from Bitcoin mining to data center computing power (such as Core Scientific and Riot Platforms) as well as upstream nuclear energy and electricity suppliers, creating a perfect closed-loop integration of cutting-edge technology and traditional infrastructure.Based on this grand framework, Leopold has executed an extremely clear “barbell strategy”:Long side (AI infrastructure): Betting on Bitcoin mining companies as the “precursors to AI data centers,” he heavily invested in Core Scientific (CORZ), Riot Platforms (RIOT), IREN, CleanSpark (CLSK), and others. These mining firms possess a vast number of high-density power sites and grid access rights, which can be directly converted into AI computing centers.Short side (traditional chip stocks): Simultaneously deployed put options with a notional value of approximately $7.46 billion to target NVIDIA ($1.57 billion), Broadcom ($1.01 billion), AMD, and the VanEck Semiconductor ETF ($2.04 billion).In terms of performance, the fund has delivered a total return of 267.46% since inception, with a Sharpe ratio of 3.58. Its average return over the past 12 months is approximately 265.37%, ranking 82nd among 488 hedge funds. NVDA (Nvidia) — A $18 Billion Investment in the Industry EcosystemAs the world’s largest AI computing leader by market capitalization, Nvidia Corp. does more than just sell GPUs; it binds the entire ecosystem through NVentures and direct equity investments. Its strategic investment portfolio—or every mention by CEO Jensen Huang in public—is interpreted by the market as an investment signal.According to Q1 2026 13F filings, the portfolio is valued at approximately $18.4 billion. So far this year, the company has publicly invested over $15 billion in AI infrastructure, with some companies mentioned by Huang in public standing out particularly:INTC (Intel) — 177.63% gain — A global leader in semiconductorsCRWV (CoreWeave) up 57.36% — AI cloud infrastructure providerCOHR (Coherent) up 86.74% — manufacturer of optical materials, lasers, and optoelectronic devicesNOK (Nokia) up 149.62% — telecommunications equipment giantLITE (Lumentum) Up 134.39% — Manufacturer of optical and photonic productsMRVL (Marvell) Up 145.47% — Semiconductor solutions providerJensen Huang excels at identifying and driving industry trends, and his predictions of “the next trillion-dollar company” often become market hotspots. Just as this article was being written, his call for Marvell to reach a trillion-dollar market cap once again demonstrated his immense influence, with MRVL surging over 26% in pre-market trading and hitting a record market cap of $243.5 billion. Trump: The “High-Frequency Trading President” in the White HouseAs one of the most influential figures in both political and business circles, Trump not only frequently makes trading calls regarding the cryptocurrency market, but his calls on the U.S. stock market also have the power to create wealth.According to disclosures from the U.S. Office of Government Ethics, Trump executed a total of 3,642 securities transactions in Q1 2026, with a transaction value ranging from approximately $220 million to $750 million, averaging about 58 trades per trading day. What has drawn even more market attention is his precise “buy first, then promote” trading strategy:Dell: On February 10, Trump’s personal account purchased between $1 million and $5 million worth of Dell stock; three months later, on May 8, he publicly urged people at the White House to “go buy a Dell—they’re great,” causing Dell’s stock to surge by about 14% during trading and hit an all-time high. This came shortly after the Dell family had pledged $6.25 billion to the “Trump account.”Palantir (PLTR): On April 10, Trump directly mentioned the stock ticker symbol on Truth Social, stating that it had “proven to have strong combat capabilities and equipment.” The stock price surged 3.6% during trading, adding approximately $10.5 billion to its market capitalization.Intel (INTC): Since early March, he has been buying Intel in batches, creating a dual exposure through his personal account and government holdings (the U.S. government purchased a 9.9% stake in August 2025 at approximately $20.47 per share). Since then, Intel has risen by about 150%.Furthermore, Trump’s ability to influence macroeconomic narratives has translated into tangible market movements—he once posted announcing a “U.S.-Iran ceasefire,” which directly triggered a plunge in oil prices and a rebound in U.S. stocks; he also posted during a market panic stating “now is an excellent time to buy,” followed by an announcement suspending most tariffs, resulting in a 9.5% single-day surge in the S&P 500. This ability to issue trading signals with insider-level precision is something Wall Street cannot replicate. Conclusion: Is Serenity the ultimate trading signal king?Based on the data, all the top trading signal providers have deeply integrated AI infrastructure and each has its own strengths:In terms of post-recommendation gains: Serenity’s 19.6x return (SIVE) is unmatched; Trump’s 14% single-day surge shows strong explosive power but lacks sustainability.In terms of win rate: Serenity leads significantly with 88.6%, backed by a sufficient sample size (35 stocks), ensuring high statistical reliability.In terms of capital size and management capabilities: Leopold manages $13.67 billion, with a cumulative return of 247.81% and a Sharpe ratio of 3.32—performance on par with professional institutions; Nvidia has publicly invested over $15 billion in AI infrastructure, resulting in massive paper gains.Regarding the advantage of information asymmetry: Trump possesses policy-making authority and access to insider information, but retail investors cannot replicate this, and there are ethical and legal risks involved. td {white-space:nowrap;border:0.5pt solid #dee0e3;font-size:10pt;font-style:normal;font-weight:normal;vertical-align:middle;word-break:normal;word-wrap:normal;}SerenityLeopoldNvidiaTrumpRole Reddit WSB traderFormer OpenAI researcher/hedge fund manager Global chip giant Current U.S. PresidentReturns/GainsPersonal cumulative return: 38xFund total return: +267.46%Supply chain stocks up 57%–178% year-to-dateMany recommended stocks up 10%–150%Trade Accuracy31 out of 35, approx. 88.6% 14F holdings currently being verifiedNon-proactive trading callsAlmost every mention triggers immediate market movementAsset TypesNVIDIA upstream “screw” small-cap stocks Bitcoin mining firms/AI power stocks + chip put optionsAI industry chain partners U.S. manufacturing/tech giantsStyle TagsDeeply mining “bottlenecks”Macro “Barbell Strategy” for Computing PowerIndustrial EmpowermentSentiment and PowerTrading CharacteristicsEarly Positioning + Repeated Calls (SIVE made 190 calls) Hedge Fund 13F Quarterly Disclosures Passive Position MappingBuy First, Promote Later + Government Policy SynergyInfluence Mechanisms Community Consensus-Driven Institutional Capital Follow-ThroughIndustry Cycle Resonance Trinity of Policy + Capital + Presidential AuthorityFrom the perspective of ordinary investors seeking reliable, trackable, and consistently high-win-rate guidance, Serenity is currently the most noteworthy “signal provider” on the market—with a transparent research framework, high signal frequency, clear investment logic, and all information available to the public for free. WEEX Coming Soon: Direct Access to U.S. Stocks, One-Click Copy Trading of Top SignalsWhile you’re following these top signal providers, WEEX is set to launch a trading section offering direct access to U.S. stocks, allowing users to invest directly in thousands of U.S. stocks—from tech giants like NVIDIA and Tesla to small-cap “cogs in the supply chain” identified by Serenity—all in one place.Switch freely between your crypto holdings and the world’s highest-quality U.S. stock assets.⏳ Stay tuned for the WEEX U.S. Stock Trading Section, pumping soon. Risk DisclosureWEEX Labs would like to remind you: A high win rate does not equate to zero risk; Serenity’s four losing trades also experienced significant drawdowns.

Step 3: Go Long or Go ShortGo Long (Buy): You think the AI hype continues and earnings will crush estimates.Go Short (Sell): You think the stock is overheated and due for a correction (remember, it dropped 30% earlier this year before rebounding ).

Always set your Stop Loss and Take Profit before you click buy. With 50x leverage, a 2% move against you can liquidate your position if you are not careful.

What are TradFi perpetuals?

They work exactly like crypto perpetual contracts — but the underlying asset is a traditional financial asset like a stock, commodity, or index.

Best AI Stock to Buy in 2026: 6 Top Picks and How to Buy

Key Takeaways:AI has shifted from software to physical infrastructure — data centers, servers, power, and coolingSix stocks dominate the 2026 AI data center buildout: NVDA, AMZN, MSFT, AMD, ORCL, SMCIPower and cooling are now the binding constraints, not chips or capitalTrade these AI stocks on WEEX TradFi using USDT-margined perpetual contractsWhat Is the Best AI Stock to Buy in 2026?

If you're asking "what AI stock should I invest in" right now, you're not alone. The 2026 AI trade has moved away from pure software plays. The real money is flowing into physical infrastructure — data centers, AI servers, power systems, cooling, and networking.

Here's the reality: hyperscalers can't build capacity fast enough. Amazon, Microsoft, and Google are spending hundreds of billions on AI data centers. Cloud backlogs are larger than available compute. And the binding constraints are no longer GPUs — they're power, cooling, and land.

This article breaks down the 6 best AI data center stocks for 2026, their core roles in the buildout, and how you can trade them on WEEX TradFi smoothly.

Why AI Data Center Stocks Matter in 2026

Four structural forces are driving the AI data center cycle:

Hyperscaler capex has reached industrial scale. Amazon, Microsoft, and Alphabet are expected to spend hundreds of billions on AI infrastructure in 2026. This is no longer a cloud software story. It's a physical buildout that benefits the entire data center ecosystem.Cloud backlogs exceed available capacity. Microsoft has reported over $80 billion in unfulfilled Azure orders. Customers are committing to future AI capacity before it exists. The market's focus has shifted from near-term margins to capacity visibility.Power and cooling are the real bottlenecks. AI data centers consume massive electricity. In many regions, grid access and interconnection timelines are slowing expansion more than capital availability. Companies with secured power access now have a strategic advantage.AI servers are becoming highly specialized. High-density racks, liquid cooling, and faster networking are essential for training and inference. This benefits companies that supply or operate the physical infrastructure layer.The 6 Best AI Stocks to Watch in 2026

Here's the list. Each stock captures a different part of the AI infrastructure stack.

NVIDIA (NVDA)

Core role: GPU compute + CUDA software ecosystem

NVIDIA remains the central compute supplier for AI data centers. Its GPUs power most frontier training workloads. CUDA keeps developers, AI frameworks, and enterprise infrastructure tied to NVIDIA hardware.

Q1 FY2027 results: Revenue hit 81.6billion,adjustedEPS81.6billion,adjustedEPS1.87. Both beat consensus. The Vera Rubin platform launches in H2 2026 and is expected to remain supply-constrained throughout its lifecycle.

The moat: Developer ecosystem. Hyperscaler custom silicon may reduce GPU reliance for some inference workloads, but most AI frameworks optimize for CUDA first.

Risk: Custom chips from AWS, Google, and Microsoft could gain inference share over time, putting pressure on NVIDIA's pricing power.

2026 outlook: Still the most direct large-cap AI compute play. Market cap near $5.4 trillion. Rubin ramp is the next major catalyst.

Trade NVIDIA (NVDA) futures on WEEX TradFi

Amazon (AMZN)

Core role: AWS + custom silicon (Trainium, Inferentia)

Amazon is the largest hyperscale cloud platform by absolute scale. AWS is aggressively expanding AI capacity as enterprise demand accelerates.

The thesis: AWS reached an annualized revenue run rate of 142 billion. AWS AI revenue now runs a troughly 15 billion annually, up from about $5 billion entering 2025. Trainium 2 and Inferentia 3 give Amazon a vertically integrated custom silicon roadmap.

Risk: If AI revenue growth fails to keep pace with rising capex, free cash flow pressure could trigger multiple compression.

2026 outlook: Strongest monetization of AI infrastructure among hyperscalers.

Trade Amazon (AMZN) futures on WEEX TradFi

Microsoft (MSFT)

Core role: Azure cloud + OpenAI infrastructure

Microsoft sits directly behind much of the frontier AI workload growth. Its OpenAI partnership gives unique exposure to large-scale model training and inference demand.

The advantage: Breadth across the AI stack — Azure infrastructure, OpenAI model access, Copilot applications, developer tools, and custom silicon (Cobalt CPUs, Maia AI accelerators).

Risk: Investors are still digesting the scale of the capex commitment, even as demand remains supply-constrained.

2026 outlook: Azure growth remains capacity-constrained. The $80B backlog provides high revenue visibility.

Trade Microsoft (MSFT) futures on WEEX TradFi

Advanced Micro Devices (AMD)

Core role: AI accelerators + EPYC server CPUs

AMD is the primary commercial alternative to NVIDIA in AI accelerators. Its EPYC server CPU franchise gives it a strong position inside data center infrastructure.

Q1 2026 results: Revenue reached 10.3billion,up3810.3billion,up385.8 billion. Management guided Q2 revenue to roughly $11.2 billion, above consensus.

The underappreciated angle: Agentic AI workloads increase CPU requirements for every accelerator deployed. AMD expects server CPU revenue to grow more than 70% in 2026. The multi-year Meta agreement to deploy up to 6 gigawatts of AMD Instinct GPUs across its AI infrastructure is a major catalyst.

Risk: MI450 execution and continued EPYC share gains are the key focus areas.

2026 outlook: Shares up roughly 66% YTD. The main question is whether AMD can take meaningful inference share from NVIDIA.

Oracle (ORCL)

Core role: Oracle Cloud Infrastructure + Stargate AI partnership

Oracle has transformed from an enterprise database company into one of the fastest-growing AI cloud infrastructure names. The Stargate partnership with OpenAI is the main driver.

Q3 FY2026 results: Total revenue reached $8.9 billion. OCI revenue surged 84% to $553 billion.

The opportunity: Oracle is constructing AI data center capacity across Texas, New Mexico, Wisconsin, and Michigan as part of the Stargate buildout.

The risk: Fiscal 2026 capex is expected to reach roughly $50.6 billion, pushing free cash flow deeply negative as Oracle invests ahead of revenue conversion.

2026 outlook: High-growth, high-risk. The $553B RPO provides visibility, but backlog conversion depends on power and construction timelines.

Trade Oracle (ORCL) futures on WEEX TradFi

Super Micro Computer (SMCI)

Core role: AI server integration + liquid cooling systems

Super Micro builds complete rack-scale AI systems that integrate GPUs, CPUs, networking, memory, and liquid cooling. Its direct liquid cooling position is critical as high-density AI data centers require better thermal management.

The catch: Q3 FY2026 included a $2.25 billion revenue miss versus consensus, mainly due to timing delays in data center orders. Margins showed improvement, but the miss spooked the market.

The risk: SMCI has faced delayed filings, auditor changes, accounting concerns, and headline risk. Shares now trade around 35,farbelowtheMarch2024highof35,farbelowtheMarch2024highof118.81.

2026 outlook: High-beta AI server stock. Massive upside if rack-scale AI demand accelerates. Significant downside if execution problems continue.

Risks to Know Before Trading AI Stocks

These stocks offer exposure to a massive infrastructure cycle, but they carry real risks:

Hyperscaler capex execution risk — Amazon, Microsoft, and Oracle are spending record amounts. If AI revenue growth lags, free cash flow pressure could trigger sharp multiple compression.Custom silicon risk for NVIDIA — AWS Trainium, Google TPU, Microsoft Maia, and Meta MTIA are all designed to reduce reliance on NVIDIA GPUs. If custom chips gain inference share faster than expected, NVIDIA's margins could face pressure.Oracle backlog conversion risk — Oracle's $553B RPO is tied to AI infrastructure and Stargate. Any delay in data center construction or power availability could push out revenue recognition.SMCI execution and governance risk — Auditor scrutiny, compliance concerns, and order timing delays can create sharp earnings-related volatility.Power and grid bottlenecks — AI data center expansion is increasingly constrained by electricity access and interconnection timelines. Delays in power availability can push out capacity deployment for the entire sector.Leverage and liquidation risk — Data center stocks can move sharply on earnings and AI demand commentary. Traders using USDT-margined futures should manage position size carefully and always use stop-loss orders.Conclusion

The best AI stock to buy in 2026 depends on which part of the infrastructure stack you want exposure to. NVIDIA captures the GPU compute layer. AMD offers AI accelerators and server CPUs. Amazon and Microsoft anchor the hyperscale cloud thesis. Oracle provides high-growth cloud infrastructure through OCI and Stargate. Super Micro Computer offers direct exposure to rack-scale AI server deployment. Each stock carries a different risk profile.

For active traders, WEEX TradFi provides a crypto-native way to trade all six names using USDT-margined perpetual contracts. Conservative position sizing, leverage control, and stop-loss orders are essential before entering any trade. The AI infrastructure cycle is still early, but volatility remains high — manage your risk accordingly.

How to Buy Apple Stock on WEEX TradfFi in 2026: A Guide for TradFi and Crypto Investors

Apple remains a $4 trillion tech powerhouse — but traditional brokerages are no longer your only option. Here’s how to invest in 2026.

Key TakeawaysApple (AAPL) trades near its all-time highs, with analyst targets averaging $310 per share for 2026 — a potential 10%+ upside from current levelsYou can now gain exposure to Apple’s stock price 24/7 through WEEX TradFi perpetual futures — no brokerage account, no fiat deposit, no KYC hasslesUnlike traditional brokers, WEEX lets you trade Apple with USDT collateral, adjustable leverage (up to 100x), and the same interface crypto traders already use

Old Way: How to Buy Apple Stock Through a Brokerage

Before we explore better alternatives, here’s how traditional investors buy Apple shares:

Step 1: Choose a regulated brokerage (Fidelity, Schwab, Robinhood, etc.)Step 2: Complete identity verification and KYC (can take 2-5 business days)Step 3: Fund your account with USD via bank wire (another 1-3 days)Step 4: Buy AAPL shares during Nasdaq trading hours (9:30 AM – 4:00 PM ET)

The problem: This process assumes you have access to the U.S. banking system. For millions of global investors — particularly in Asia, Africa, and Latin America — opening a U.S. brokerage account ranges from difficult to impossible.

Even for those who can, you’re locked into fixed trading hours, minimum share purchases, and no leverage unless you apply for a margin account.

New Way: Trade Apple Perpetual Futures on WEEX TradFi in 2026

WEEX TradFi offers a fundamentally different approach. Instead of buying shares through a broker, you trade USDT-margined perpetual futures that track Apple’s real-time stock price — 7x24, with no brokerage account required.

What Are Apple Perpetual Futures?

A perpetual futures contract is a derivative that tracks the price of an underlying asset — in this case, Apple (AAPL) stock — but with no expiration date. You can hold a position for minutes, days, or months without worrying about contract rollovers.

Unlike traditional futures, perpetuals use a funding rate mechanism to keep the contract price anchored to Apple’s actual stock price on Nasdaq. Every 4 to 8 hours, longs pay shorts (or vice versa) depending on whether the perpetual is trading at a premium or discount to the spot price.

For crypto traders, this structure is already familiar — it’s exactly how BTC and ETH perpetuals work. WEEX applies the same logic to Apple, Microsoft, Nvidia, and other major stocks.

How WEEX TradFi Compares to Traditional Brokerages td {white-space:nowrap;border:0.5pt solid #dee0e3;font-size:10pt;font-style:normal;font-weight:normal;vertical-align:middle;word-break:normal;word-wrap:normal;}FeatureWEEX TradFiTraditional BrokerAccount setupMinutes, using existing crypto accountDays to weeks, plus bank verificationTrading hours7X24Nasdaq hours only (9:30 AM – 4:00 PM ET)Minimum tradeFractional (as little as $1 USDT)1 full share (~$270+)LeverageAdjustable up to 50xNone without margin accountCollateralUSDT (no fiat needed)USD via bank wireShort sellingBuilt-in (go long or short)Requires margin account approvalGlobal accessYes — any country where crypto trading is permittedRestricted by brokerage licensingWhy WEEX TradFi Works Better for Global Investors

WEEX solves three major friction points that traditional brokerages can’t:

No Banking Dependency

You don’t need a U.S. bank account, a local bank that supports international wires, or any fiat currency at all. Deposit USDT from any wallet, exchange, or OTC desk — on-chain transfers take minutes, not days.

Trade When News Breaks

Apple reports earnings, the Fed announces rate cuts, or a supply chain disruption hits China — these events don’t wait for the Nasdaq opening bell. With 24/7 trading on WEEX, you can enter or exit positions immediately when news breaks, not 12 hours later.

Unified Portfolio Management

Your Apple position sits alongside gold, oil, forex, and crypto — all in one USDT account. No separate logins, no capital transfers between platforms, no fragmented margin.

How to Trade Apple Futures on WEEX in 2026: Step-by-Step GuideStep 1: Create Your WEEX Account

Go to WEEX official website and register with your email or phone number. Complete basic KYC verification — this typically takes 5-10 minutes.

Step 2: Deposit USDT

Transfer USDT to your WEEX account or buy directly via fiat or quick buy. Choose any network — ERC-20, TRC-20, BEP-20 — all are supported.

Step 3: Search for Apple Perpetual Contracts

Go to the WEEX Futures page and search for AAPLUSDT.

Step 4: Set Your Leverage

Adjust leverage from 1x to 50x. Lower leverage (2-5x) mimics spot exposure with less risk. Higher leverage amplifies both gains and losses — use cautiously.

You can access up to 100x leverage on AAPL.

Step 5: Choose Long or ShortLong if you expect Apple’s stock price to riseShort if you expect Apple’s stock price to fall

Unlike traditional brokers, short selling on WEEX requires no margin account approval or share borrowing — just click “Sell” and you’re short.

Step 6: Place Your Order

Choose between:

Market order — executes immediately at current priceLimit order — executes only at your specified priceStop-loss / Take-profit — automatic exit levels for risk management

Note: Always set stop-loss and take-profit before clicking buy.

Step 7: Monitor Funding Rates

Every 8 hours, a funding fee is exchanged between longs and shorts. Check the current rate before holding positions overnight. In most market conditions, funding rates are minimal (0.01% or less).

How to Trade Apple Futures Safely: 4 Strategies for BeginnersStrategy 1: Earnings Season Directional Plays

Apple reports earnings four times per year. The stock typically moves 3-7% on the day of release. With WEEX perpetuals, you can:

Enter a position minutes before the report (no settlement delays)Use 3-5x leverage to amplify the moveSet tight stop-losses (2-3%) to cap downsideStrategy 2: Hedging a Crypto Portfolio

If you hold significant crypto, Apple often moves independently of Bitcoin. During crypto drawdowns, Apple may hold steady or rise — especially if macro fears (inflation, rates) are driving the selloff. A long Apple position can offset crypto losses.

Strategy 3: News-Based Scalping

Apple is constantly in the news — product launches (iPhone 18 expected September 2026), supply chain updates, antitrust rulings, China relations. Each event creates intraday volatility. With 24/7 access, you can trade these headlines immediately, not the next morning.

Strategy 4: Diversification Without Brokerage Overhead

For crypto-native investors who don’t want to open a traditional brokerage account, WEEX TradFi offers a single interface for Apple, gold, oil, forex, and crypto. Rebalance across asset classes without leaving the platform.

Final Thoughts: Buy Apple Stocks on WEEX TradFi

Apple remains one of the most important companies in the global economy — 4 trillion in market cap, 400 billion in annual revenue, and a device ecosystem that touches billions of users. Gaining exposure to Apple’s price movements is a core position for many investors.

Traditional brokerages served the 20th century well. In 2026, you have better options: 24/7 trading, no banking friction, fractional access, and unified portfolio management with crypto and commodities — all from a single USDT account.

WEEX TradFi isn’t just an alternative to Robinhood or Fidelity. It’s a fundamentally different paradigm: stock exposure designed for the crypto-native world.

How to Trade FUTU Futures in 2026: Why WEEX TradFi is the Best Choice for Beginners

You’re not here for dividends. You’re here because Futu Holdings (FUTU) powers China’s online brokerage boom—and you want to know: too late, or just getting started?

By 2026, Futu’s twin apps (Futubull and Moomoo) made it a $21.7 billion force. But active traders know: while others wait for the NASDAQ bell, the smart crowd trades FUTU futures 24/7 on crypto exchanges.

This guide covers: what FUTU futures are, how TradFi perpetual contracts work, and how to trade them without a traditional broker account.

What Is Futu Holdings

Futu Holdings is the parent company behind Futubull and Moomoo — two digital brokerage platforms dominating Hong Kong, Singapore, and increasingly the US market .

The company makes money three ways:

Brokerage commissions from every trade users placeMargin financing interest when traders borrow to leverage upWealth management fees from fund products

As of May 2026, FUTU trades around 124–124–155 per share, with a 52-week range between 96.27 and 202.53 . The stock is volatile — exactly what futures traders want.

FUTU Recent earnings snapshot (Q4 2025):

EPS: 3.07(beatestimatesby3.07(beatestimatesby0.01)Revenue: 827.15million(above827.15million(above788.73M expected)Next earnings (Q1 2026): estimated June 4, 2026What Are FUTU Futures

Traditional futures are contracts to buy or sell an asset at a predetermined price on a specific future date. They expire. You have to roll them over. It’s a headache.

FUTU futures on WEEX Exchange work differently.

What you’re trading is a perpetual contract — no expiration date, no rollover, no physical delivery. You hold the position as long as you want and close it when you’re ready.

Here’s the key: you’re not buying Futu stock. You’re trading the price movement of FUTU using USDT as your margin. Go long if you think earnings will crush estimates. Go short if you think the Hong Kong market cools off.

What Is TradFi Perpetual Contracts

TradFi stands for Traditional Finance — stocks, commodities, forex, gold. TradFi perpetual contracts apply crypto’s most successful derivative structure (the perp) to these traditional assets .

How they work:

You deposit USDT. You choose an asset — FUTU stock, gold, crude oil, NASDAQ indices. You open a position with leverage. No broker account. No USD bank transfer. No tax forms. Just a crypto wallet and a few clicks .

Key differences from traditional futures:

td {white-space:nowrap;border:0.5pt solid #dee0e3;font-size:10pt;font-style:normal;font-weight:normal;vertical-align:middle;word-break:normal;word-wrap:normal;}FeatureTraditional FuturesTradFi Perpetuals (on WEEX)Expiration dateYes — must roll overNo — hold indefinitelySettlement currencyUSD, HKD, etc.USDTTrading hoursMarket-specific sessions7月24日Physical deliveryPossible for commoditiesNever — cash settledAccount neededBrokerage accountCrypto wallet + exchange account

The funding rate mechanism keeps the perpetual price anchored to the real FUTU stock price. Every few hours, longs pay shorts or shorts pay longs depending on which side is more crowded .

This structure has exploded in 2026. Binance’s TradFi perp volume grew from 0.2% to 4.9% of major futures markets in just 90 days — with silver perps hitting 20.8% of COMEX volume at peak .

Why FUTU Futures in 2026Earnings volatility

Futu reports Q1 2026 earnings around June 4 . The stock moved 15-20% around past reports. With 10x leverage, that’s a 150-200% move — in either direction.

Hong Kong-China retail boom

Chinese retail investors are hungry for US stocks. Futu’s platforms are their primary gateway. As long as that demand holds, FUTU stays relevant.

24/7 access to NASDAQ names

Futu trades on NASDAQ. NASDAQ closes at 4 PM ET. If news drops at 9 PM, traditional traders wait until morning. FUTU futures traders act immediately .

No PDT rule

The Pattern Day Trader rule (25k minimum for frequent trading) doesn’t apply to crypto-based futures. Trade as much as you want with whatever capital you have.

Note: Stock is for investors. Futures are for traders.

How to Trade FUTU Futures on WEEX TradFi: Step-by-StepStep 1: Deposit funds

You need to deposit USDT (Tether) on WEEX. Buy USDT with fiat or transfer from your crypto wallet.

Step 2: Find the FUTU perpetual contract

Go to the WEEX Futures page and search for FUTUUSDT.

Step 3: Decide to go long or short

Go long: You expect Futu’s next earnings to beat estimates or Hong Kong retail activity to surgeGo short: You think valuation is stretched or competition (like Tiger Brokers) is eating market share

Step 4: Set leverage

Start small. 5x or 10x is plenty for beginners. 100x leverage means a 1% move against you liquidates your position. You can access up to 50x leverage on FUTU .

Step 5: Place stop-loss and take-profit

Always set stop-loss and take-profit before clicking buy. The market can gap overnight. Stop-losses save accounts.

Step 6: Monitor funding rates

Check the funding rate before holding overnight. If it’s high, you’re paying to keep the position open.

Key Risks to Know Before Trading FUTU FuturesLiquidation risk: Leverage magnifies losses. A 10% drop with 10x leverage = 100% loss. Your position closes automatically when margin runs out.Funding rate cost: If everyone is bullish on FUTU, longs pay shorts. Holding through high funding rates eats profits.Basis risk: The perpetual price tracks the real FUTU price via an index. In extreme volatility, the basis can widen before correcting.After-hours spreads: When NASDAQ is closed, FUTU futures still trade. Liquidity can thin out, widening spreads .Conclusion

The debate is whether Chinese retail demand for US stocks will cool off. The data says no. Hong Kong and Singapore trading volumes remain strong, and Futu's platforms keep adding users.

Even if competitors catch up, Futu holds the edge. Its app experience and liquidity keep traders locked in. For active traders: earnings volatility + 24/7 markets + leverage = opportunity.

Can Silver Hit $200 in 2026? Trade XAG Futures on WEEX TradFi

In early 2026, the momentum was undeniable. Silver smashed through the $100 barrier, seemingly validating Robert Kiyosaki's most aggressive calls.

However, as of late May 2026, the metal has retraced sharply, hovering in the 73–73–80 range.

That volatility begs the question: Is the bull run over, or is this the last chance to buy before the predicted surge to $200?

While Kiyosaki doubles down on his “fiat is trash” narrative, the market mechanics have shifted. Here is the professional breakdown of the silver price 2026 outlook and why sophisticated traders are moving to platforms like WEEX TradFi to position for the next leg up.

Why This Correction Isn’t a Collapse

To understand if silver can reach $200, we have to respect the bear arguments first.

Recently, institutions like UBS have slashed price targets, citing a slowdown in Chinese solar panel demand and a retreat in ETF inflows. The physical deficit is shrinking, and high interest rates remain a headwind.

But here is the contrarian view. Kiyosaki’s $200 prediction isn’t based on current industrial demand alone. It’s based on currency debasement. With the Fed signaling shifts in monetary policy and the dollar index showing structural weakness, the “fake money” printing press is spinning up again.

Silver remains one of the most undervalued hard assets. Once the Fed pivots, the metal could gap higher violently.

The 2026 Supply Crunch vs. Green Demand

Ignoring short-term noise, the macro setup for silver price 2026 is still bullish. Even UBS admits the market is in a deficit — just a smaller one than last year.

Solar & EVs – The “low silver” tech isn’t ready for prime time. Photovoltaic silver paste consumption remains high.The catch‑up trade – Gold is at all‑time highs. Historically, when the gold‑to‑silver ratio is elevated, silver eventually plays catch‑up.

If you wait for $80 to hold before buying, you might end up chasing the price. The smart money is setting limit orders on the dip.

Should Investors Buy Silver Now?

Not everyone should buy silver just because Kiyosaki says so. It really comes down to how much risk you can stomach and what you're trying to achieve.

If you think inflation isn't going away and the dollar will keep sliding, silver makes sense as a long-term hedge. But don't kid yourself — this market is a rollercoaster. Prices can swing 10% in a single week, let alone a month.

That's why most seasoned investors don't go all in. They treat silver as one piece of a bigger puzzle — alongside stocks, crypto, or even cash. Spreading your chips around keeps you sleeping at night when silver decides to take a 20% dive.
